Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation in an African American Female: An Atypical Presentation and Treatment Dilemma.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We present the case of a 32-year-old African American female with a known history of primary Sjogren's syndrome, multiple vitamin deficiencies, and prior facial cellulitis who presented with diffuse facial post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following a motor vehicle accident. Following glucocorticoid treatment, only select hyperpigmented areas associated with inflammation, infection, or trauma improved, which thereby posed a clinical challenge to improve the patient's appearance and condition. Such results may warrant the consideration of adjunctive topical therapies to lighten the remaining areas of hyperpigmentation.
